They're a Brick! House!

Okay, I admit it. Disco is my favorite driving music. It keeps me awake and alert and energized. In fact, in the September issue of Sasee magazine, a story of mine ("Still Dancing") is going to appear. It chronicles my horrificunbelievable past attempts at dancing.

These are plates. Don't you think any food
placed on it would boogie-oogie-oogie right off? Tomorrow, some local writers are going to be guests at a private event, featuring Gloria Gaynor, the queen of I Will Survive. Cathi LaMarche, Alice Muschany, Lynn Obermoeller, and Linda O'Connell will be dancing under the disco ball--and they each have a story of theirs published in an anthology about surviving.

This is the cover of the anthology inspired
by Gloria Gaynor's song "I Will Survive." Please send them congratulations and if you're older-than-mud "seasoned" enough to remember the disco era, give them your best dancing advice... ...'Cause they don't need no stinkin' writing advice. They're solid writers. Each of them is a Brick! House! of writing skills.

Allow me to offer my apologies, Madam, for these people above calling you a "sassy piece." They seem to be card-carrying members of your crony circle, yet they presume to know which way your moral compass swings. A trait so uncharacteristic of your heretofore well-behaved bloggy friends, this rush to judgment. Perhaps...WAIT a minute! You have written a piece that will appear in Sassee! Congratulations.

Excuse me. I must travel through the blogosphere to see if anybody else needs needless defending. I hope those Gaynor gals make the most of their night of Hustling.

YAY, I can't wait to get the September issue of Sasee to read your story. Ha, I liked, "... and if you're older than mud..." and oh my, I hope there's no dancing involved as I'm sure I'm more horrific at the attempt than you!
